When They Leave
satire is a lesson, parody is a game
When They Leave is a work set for 7 dancers, and deals with relationships, whether it is personal or professional. It is satirical work I created to comment on the state of art, more specifically dance in Holland focusing on the high art and low art conversation.

Loud Silence: In The Memory of Her Mind
Death, Rapture, Rituals and Purity
The work deals with inner conflict, the internal fights one has with oneself and how sometimes it is forced upon us. In the work the performers go on a individual journey of discovery. Not just questioning their situations but also seeking answers to these questions.
Set in an asylum, In The Memory of Her Mind can be described as a illusive epoch. A memory that was created because of ones inner conflict.
